July

We took the kids to a restaurant/arcade place last night. There was a movie playing on a big screen in the dining area that helped keep my kids in their seats. Raegan got her face painted TWICE. I should have known she wouldn't like it because it wasn't what she wanted. She knows what she wants! The gal doing the face painting and I talked her into what we thought would be pretty on her and she didn't agree so the nice lady happily redid it. Brady got his face painted too but wasn't so sure about it so we only got half of his face done. I think he was wondering why we were putting makeup on him :) After dinner and face painting we rode the carosel, the pirate ship and played lots of games. Good times!

Independence Day! We went to the Derby parade in the morning and then went to my brothers house for their annual fireworks show. The kids loved catching candy and the firetrucks at the parade. They liked doing and seeing fireworks with their cousins. Brady might have enjoyed Cade's big truck more than the fireworks. His favorite toys are trucks/cars.

















I'm always calling my kids monkeys because they are major climbers. I bet I get Brady off my kitchen table at least 5-10 times a day. He gets the stool from the bathroom and scoots it where he wants and climbs up. Most of the time he pushes it into the kitchena and climbs on the counters. Drives me crazy! I posted the same picture of Raegan when she was around 2 1/2. Brady is only 18 1/2mo. I'm in trouble!

If you've been to my house, you know how high he is....


If not, you can see the top of the couch and get a better idea of how far up he is...









My dear friend, Amy, sent me this beautiful orchid. I love having fresh flowers in my house! It makes me smile every time I walk by them. Thanks Amy!
